    Name this movie

    Where to begin, I know I could easily be incorrectly remembering these details but here goes nothing. It had to be released in the 80's, pretty sure it took place in the future, I think it had a futuristic scifi technoy Tank-Girl vibe to it, all I remember were 2 people fighting either underground or above ground in a building with lots of bars going various directions, there might have been some type of pit underneath, I want to say their weapons were like some neon colored glowing slap on straps that were popular in the 90's but I could entirely be wrong. I think there was an audience for the fight,

    I remember absolutely no dialogue.

    I'm actually offering a reward for someone that can figure out what this is.

    It sounds ridiculous but I remember their weapons being something like a glowing form of these, but the memory could be entirely false since I think I watched it when I was 9.

    That...slap bracelet type of weapon isn't something that's coming up.

    Blade Runner was my first gut instinctual response, but I don't remember the weapons.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Those were blaster/gun type weapons...(Logan's Run/Blade Runner)

    Neon-colored weapons sounds like it could be the jai alai scene in Tron from 1982.

    It's none of these, although Arena had the right vibe/look.

    The slap-on weapon could definitely not be accurate.

    Yours had the closest vibe/look from what I remember, but it's not it

    Almost certain it was two humans fighting and there were no creatures in the area, but I could be wrong about there not being creatures in the area.

    I assume you are referring to a B movie. The description is too light to pin it down, but here are a few possibilities from that era (out of many dozens):

    Gunhed
    Beyond The Rising Moon
    Neon City
    Timerider

    Heck, from your description, it could even be Big Trouble in Little China

    Might help to narrow down years - you said you watched it 'about 9 years old' - so maybe a range of years in that area? I know it may not help the 'it was made in the 80s' idea, but still, knowing you were watching it anywhere from 1994-1997 vs. 2007-2011 might help to narrow it down?

    Unfortunately, I don't have any suggestions that haven't been already suggested.

    I have no idea, I know this isn't much info to go on. I'm almost certain it was a match of some type, but I don't think the movie was nothing but that.

    Funny story, I literally grew up thinking Spaceballs was a lost Star Wars movie so I kept bugging my dad about the 'other' Star Wars movie and when we finally watched Star Wars again I was anticipating a battle where they get their lightsabers intertwined.

    None of those, I may have overplayed the neon technoy tank-girl vibe. Neon City and Timerider look like neat movies, I'm going to have to watch those.

    Solar Babies is my best guess.



    Arenas: check
    Bars n things: check
    Above ground or underground or in a pit: ambigiuous enough for me
    80s or maybe 90s: It has Jason Patrick
    80s or maybe 90s: It has Jamie Gertz
    Dialog: Totally forgettable: check!
